Not sure on the specific flow of water, sounds like it is going down close to there, slowly.
The only way into central is via 64 and Zachary back way
Thank you Pirate

This is from the front of the neighborhood near burbank
Goes from the front of the neighborhood to the back
Is this the location I marked on this map?

TKE, I was out there around 1 and it looked about the same. I have pictures showing the same thing pretty much.
When was that picture taken?

The news just said 12 is open from Juban to Hammond.
Don't know if this was settled, but I just left my house at Baptist/Pumpkin Center and I-12 is still closed at 55 West bound. East bound is open from at least my exit to Covington. Troopers are on the overpass at 55 diverting traffic on the West bound side

It is the north side of your blue X. Eastern border of the neighborhood has drainage behind albertsons. The back of the neighborhood is probably 20' from Bayou Fountain.
That drainage in the back is horrible though. The streets aren't maintained by the city-parish, so it doesn't surprise me that that drainage isn't working correctly.
I blame the original developers of that subdivision. Real pieces of work.....

For people watching for backwater flooding - that this is being bounded by the swamp actually worries me, because even though it will buffer the flooding, it will then reinforce it once the water levels get high enough. Water will come up QUICK rather than steady and slow.

Thanks for the info. Yeah... I'd be willing to bet that area is rising and rising fast now, or will be soon.

Yes that is the general area

Anyone have a link to the Airline cam where Manchac crosses? It's too dark on the I10 one.

This is why I feel we win the national title this year. BR has had its fair share of tragedy the month or so. Its come together

Weather Channel today is all global warming and arctic melting.
Fox mentioned it once, now talking politics.
CNN has been reporting non stop on how evil Donald Trump is.
There's an actual news event happening in Louisiana but no coverage. Out of town folks with family/friends in town pretty much have to depend on Tigerdroppings....which IMO is more reliable than CNN anyways.

Finally got to see my house today.
After I parked my car at the wal mart on Coursey, I walked to my neighborhood to see Jones Creek had swallowed the front of neighborhood. My heart was in my stomach, I had no hope. A father and son who had been out there all day asked me if I wanted to see what I could get from my house and when I saw the homes in the front of the neighborhood had about 5 ft of water in their house I was just wanted to turn back.
My face lit up when I saw green where my house is. Couldn't be luckier today.
Thanks to the father and son who already lost their house to flooding (also flooded during Katrina) but was out there today helping people.

For those waiting in traffic on airline by HIghland, we just passed through it. Goes down to one lane on airline, and even then we were passing through water ato least halfway up the tires. Idk how much longer they can let people tbrough. Soooooo many people waiting in traffic that might have to turn around and go somewhere else.

Any idea when the back flow of muddy creek will stop for us at Henry rd near jefferson?
Posted on 8/14/16 at 8:59 pm to member12
To be fair this is standard issue for most national news networks (unless its a hurricane or earthquake)

Taken around 6ish were houses flooded when you were there? If not there were when I was there. The ones that weren't built up. No idea how that was approved.

I respect the work you have put in through this thread, but what background do you have that makes you think this?
It all just seems like wild speculation on your part right now. I understand you were right about alot of flooding, but now people are really taking what you are saying to heart. Be careful what you say if it is just complete speculation. People probably shouldn't be trying to move tonight based on what you are saying alone. A second ago you thought the swamp ended at manchac road.
